To XM or not to XM. That is the question...
I noticed that XM radio started charging me about 40.00 every three months. I think that is too high, so I call them and say so. They tell me that there is nothing they can do about it. I say to put me through to customer service department, and while the guy says he was reviewing my account, the call dropped. No phone call back.

Times are getting tougher, so I am not sure I am going to keep this. Is it worth it?

1. I have Sirius
And the only reason is for Howard. If it wasn't for that, I don't see much point in having it. I'm not in my car often enough to really enjoy the music channels except when I drove cross country and when my band was on tour in the South West.

Anyhow, if you're not getting what you want, why have it?

3. XM and Sirius have merged
I like XM, and I think the price is quite reasonable for the time I spend listening to it, which is whenever I am driving. Think how much cable tv charges are, and this will seem very minor.

$40.00 every three months comes out to about $.33 a day. I spend more in vending machines.

4. If you decide to close your account be prepared to cancel the credit card they bill.
They are as notorious as AOL for refusing to shut an account.
